Vitality might just never lose a tournament again, guys and gals.

While Aurora’s ticket straight into playoffs over FURIA is a great result for them, and they should be extremely proud, what it means for FURIA is stark for those of us who aren’t massive Vitality fans. FURIA are about the only team who have shown anything approaching a level capable of beating them consistently, and they’re just not there any more.

Similarly, Spirit getting tonked by PARIVISION even with donk putting on a clinic means it’s likely to be a cold, cold, erm, Spring.

NAVI bizarrely look best placed to stop them, and their win over Falcons was a serious marker put down that they are coming for that #1 contender spot as everyone else falls, and makazze has one of the hottest hands out there right now.

He’s the fifth highest rated player at the event behind KSCERATO, donk, flameZ and ZywOo, which is bloody impressive, and he’s made The Leap (tm) from prospect to superstar in the last few months, for us.

donk’s on a 1.68 rating in third (?), and that’s somewhat powered by a 2.05 rating he got in a 13-3 loss to PARIVISION. Do you know how insane that is? They LOST 13-3 and he had a 2.05. Please, someone save this boy. It’s like watching Gareth Bale play for Wales.

Vitality are obviously yet to drop a map, which goes without saying, and FaZe obviously lost to TYLOO, because of course they did. karrigan even carried them in their map win, just to lose 13-11 twice.

We love TYLOO, but it’s not a good sign, is it?

Liquid are out after getting 2-0’d by the MongolZ (not disgraceful), but not before they eliminated perennial crisis org NIP, who now are in serious danger of missing the Major with FaZe.

TYLOO went on to take a map against Falcons in OT, then three rounds in the other two maps combined. That’s what a real team does to TYLOO.

NRG knocked out B8 and then were themselves knocked out by FURIA, which… fair enough.

There’s some crazy games today, with the pick of the bunch obviously being FURIA vs Falcons for elimination/progression. That’s an absolute plan-your-day-around must-watch thigh-rubbing gigabanger.

We WILL be there.
